    # Xilinx Accelerator Platform
    
    The first step to use Xilinx accelerators is to initialize Vitis (compiler) and XRT (runtime) environments.
    
    ```console
    $ . /tools/Xilinx/Vitis/2023.1/settings64.sh
    $ . /opt/xilinx/xrt/setup.sh
    ```
    
    ## Platform Level Accelerator Management
    
    This should allow to examine current platform using `xbutil examine`,
    which should output user-level information about XRT platform and list available devices
    
    ```
    $ xbutil examine

    Finally, the device can be reinitialized using `xbutil reset -d <BDF>` as
    
    ```console
    $ xbutil reset -d "0000:88:00.1"
    Performing 'HOT Reset' on '0000:88:00.1'
    Are you sure you wish to proceed? [Y/n]: Y
    Successfully reset Device[0000:88:00.1]
    ```
    
    This can be useful to recover the device from states such as `HANGING`, reported by `xbutil examine -d <BDF>`.
    
    ## OpenCL Platform Level
    
    The `clinfo` utility can be used to verify that the accelerator is visible to OpenCL

    ## Building Applications
    
    Jan Siwiec's avatar
    Jan Siwiec committed
    
    To simplify the build process we define two environment variables `IT4I_PLATFORM` and `IT4I_BUILD_MODE`.
    The first `IT4I_PLATFORM` denotes specific accelerator hardware such as `Alveo u250` or `Alveo u280`
    and its configuration stored in (`*.xpfm` files).
    The list of available platforms can be obtained using `platforminfo` utility:
    
    ```console
    $ platforminfo -l
    {
        "platforms": [
            {
                "baseName": "xilinx_u280_gen3x16_xdma_1_202211_1",
                "version": "202211.1",
                "type": "sdaccel",
                "dataCenter": "true",
                "embedded": "false",
                "externalHost": "true",
                "serverManaged": "true",
                "platformState": "impl",
                "usesPR": "true",
                "platformFile": "\/opt\/xilinx\/platforms\/xilinx_u280_gen3x16_xdma_1_202211_1\/xilinx_u280_gen3x16_xdma_1_202211_1.xpfm"
            },
            {
                "baseName": "xilinx_u250_gen3x16_xdma_4_1_202210_1",
                "version": "202210.1",
                "type": "sdaccel",
                "dataCenter": "true",
                "embedded": "false",
                "externalHost": "true",
                "serverManaged": "true",
                "platformState": "impl",
                "usesPR": "true",
                "platformFile": "\/opt\/xilinx\/platforms\/xilinx_u250_gen3x16_xdma_4_1_202210_1\/xilinx_u250_gen3x16_xdma_4_1_202210_1.xpfm"
            }
        ]
    }
    ```
    
    Here, `baseName` and potentially `platformFile` are of interest and either can be specified as value of `IT4I_PLATFORM`.
    In this case we have platform files `xilinx_u280_gen3x16_xdma_1_202211_1` (Alveo u280) and `xilinx_u250_gen3x16_xdma_4_1_202210_1` (Alveo u250).
    
    The `IT4I_BUILD_MODE` is used to specify build type (`hw`, `hw_emu` and `sw_emu`):
    
    - `hw` performs full synthesis for the accelerator
    - `hw_emu` allows to run both synthesis and emulation for debugging
    - `sw_emu` compiles kernels only for emulation (doesn't require accelerator and allows much faster build)
    
    
    For example to configure build for `Alveo u280` we set:
    
    Jan Siwiec's avatar
    Jan Siwiec committed
    
    ```console
    $ export IT4I_PLATFORM=xilinx_u280_gen3x16_xdma_1_202211_1
    
    ```
    
    ### Software Emulation Mode
    
    The software emulation mode is preferable for development as HLS synthesis is very time consuming. To build following applications in this mode we set:
    
    ```console
    
    Jan Siwiec's avatar

    and run each application with `XCL_EMULATION_MODE` set to `sw_emu`:
    
    ```
    $ XCL_EMULATION_MODE=sw_emu <application>
    ```
    
    ### Hardware Synthesis Mode
    
    !!! note
        The HLS of these simple applications **can take up to 2 hours** to finish.
    
    To allow the application to utilize real hardware we have to synthetize FPGA design for the accelerator. This can be done by repeating same steps used to build kernels in emulation mode, but with `IT4I_BUILD_MODE` set to `hw` like so:

    ## Sample Applications

    The first two samples illustrate two main approaches to building FPGA accelerated applications using Xilinx platform - **XRT** and **OpenCL**.
    
    The final example combines **HIP** with **XRT** to show basics necessary to build application, which utilizes both GPU and FPGA accelerators.

    ### Using HLS and XRT
    
    The applications are typically separated into host and accelerator/kernel side.
    The following host-side code should be saved as `host.cpp`
    
    ```c++

    int main(int argc, char** argv)
    {
        if(argc != 2)
        {
            std::cout << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " <XCLBIN File>" << std::endl;
            return EXIT_FAILURE;
        }
    
        // Read settings
        std::string binaryFile = argv[1];
        int device_index = 0;
    
        std::cout << "Open the device" << device_index << std::endl;

        std::cout << "Load the xclbin " << binaryFile << std::endl;
        auto uuid = device.load_xclbin("./vadd.xclbin");
    
        size_t vector_size_bytes = sizeof(int) * DATA_SIZE;
    
        //auto krnl = xrt::kernel(device, uuid, "vadd");
        auto krnl = xrt::kernel(device, uuid, "vadd", xrt::kernel::cu_access_mode::exclusive);
    
        std::cout << "Allocate Buffer in Global Memory\n";
        auto boIn1 = xrt::bo(device, vector_size_bytes, krnl.group_id(0)); //Match kernel arguments to RTL kernel
        auto boIn2 = xrt::bo(device, vector_size_bytes, krnl.group_id(1));
        auto boOut = xrt::bo(device, vector_size_bytes, krnl.group_id(2));
    
        // Map the contents of the buffer object into host memory
        auto bo0_map = boIn1.map<int*>();
        auto bo1_map = boIn2.map<int*>();
        auto bo2_map = boOut.map<int*>();
        std::fill(bo0_map, bo0_map + DATA_SIZE, 0);
        std::fill(bo1_map, bo1_map + DATA_SIZE, 0);
        std::fill(bo2_map, bo2_map + DATA_SIZE, 0);
    
        // Create the test data
        int bufReference[DATA_SIZE];
        for (int i = 0; i < DATA_SIZE; ++i)
        {
            bo0_map[i] = i;
            bo1_map[i] = i;
            bufReference[i] = bo0_map[i] + bo1_map[i]; //Generate check data for validation
        }
    
        // Synchronize buffer content with device side
        std::cout << "synchronize input buffer data to device global memory\n";
        boIn1.sync(XCL_BO_SYNC_BO_TO_DEVICE);
        boIn2.sync(XCL_BO_SYNC_BO_TO_DEVICE);
    
        std::cout << "Execution of the kernel\n";
        auto run = krnl(boIn1, boIn2, boOut, DATA_SIZE); //DATA_SIZE=size
        run.wait();
    
        // Get the output;
        std::cout << "Get the output data from the device" << std::endl;
        boOut.sync(XCL_BO_SYNC_BO_FROM_DEVICE);
    
        // Validate results
        if (std::memcmp(bo2_map, bufReference, vector_size_bytes))
            throw std::runtime_error("Value read back does not match reference");
    
        std::cout << "TEST PASSED\n";
        return 0;
    }
    ```
    
    The host-side code can now be compiled using GCC toolchain as:
    
    ```console
    $ g++ host.cpp -I$XILINX_XRT/include -I$XILINX_VIVADO/include -L$XILINX_XRT/lib -lxrt_coreutil -o host
    ```
    
    The accelerator side (simple vector-add kernel) should be saved as `vadd.cpp`.
    
    ```c++
    /*
    # Copyright (C) 2023, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. All rights reserved.
    # SPDX-License-Identifier: X11
    */
    
    extern "C" {
    	void vadd(
    	        const unsigned int *in1, // Read-Only Vector 1
    	        const unsigned int *in2, // Read-Only Vector 2
    	        unsigned int *out,       // Output Result
    	        int size                 // Size in integer
    	        )
    	{
    #pragma HLS INTERFACE m_axi port=in1 bundle=aximm1
    #pragma HLS INTERFACE m_axi port=in2 bundle=aximm2
    #pragma HLS INTERFACE m_axi port=out bundle=aximm1
    
    	    for(int i = 0; i < size; ++i)
    	    {
    	        out[i] = in1[i] + in2[i];
    	    }
    	}
    }
    ```
    
    The accelerator-side code is build using Vitis `v++`.
    This is two-step process, which either builds emulation binary or performs full HLS (depending on the value of `-t` argument).
    The platform (specific accelerator) has to be also specified at this step (both for emulation and full HLS).
    
    ```console
    $ v++ -c -t $IT4I_BUILD_MODE --platform $IT4I_PLATFORM -k vadd vadd.cpp -o vadd.xo
    $ v++ -l -t $IT4I_BUILD_MODE --platform $IT4I_PLATFORM vadd.xo -o vadd.xclbin
    ```
    
    This process should result in `vadd.xclbin`, which can be loaded by host-side application.
    
    
    ### Running the Application

    With both host application and kernel binary at hand the application (in emulation mode) can be launched as
    
    ```console
    $ XCL_EMULATION_MODE=sw_emu ./host vadd.xclbin
    ```
    
    
    or with real hardware (having compiled kernels with `IT4I_BUILD_MODE=hw`)

    ## Using HLS and OpenCL
    
    The host-side application code should be saved as `host.cpp`.
    This application attempts to find `Xilinx` OpenCL platform in the system and selects first device in that platform.
    The device is then configured with provided kernel binary.
    Other than that the only difference to typical vector-add in OpenCL is use of `enqueueTask(...)` to launch the kernel
    (compared to typical `enqueueNDRangeKernel`).

    The host-side code can now be compiled using GCC toolchain as:
    
    ```console
    $ g++ host.cpp -I$XILINX_XRT/include -I$XILINX_VIVADO/include -lOpenCL -o host
    ```
    
    The accelerator side (simple vector-add kernel) should be saved as `vadd.cl`.
    
    ```c++
    #define BUFFER_SIZE 256
    #define DATA_SIZE 1024
    
    // TRIPCOUNT indentifier
    __constant uint c_len = DATA_SIZE / BUFFER_SIZE;
    __constant uint c_size = BUFFER_SIZE;

    The accelerator-side code is build using Vitis `v++`.
    This is three-step process, which either builds emulation binary or performs full HLS (depending on the value of `-t` argument).
    The platform (specific accelerator) has to be also specified at this step (both for emulation and full HLS).
    
    ```console
    $ v++ -c -t $IT4I_BUILD_MODE --platform $IT4I_PLATFORM -k vector_add -o vadd.xo vadd.cl
    $ v++ -l -t $IT4I_BUILD_MODE --platform $IT4I_PLATFORM -o vadd.link.xclbin vadd.xo
    $ v++ -p vadd.link.xclbin -t $IT4I_BUILD_MODE --platform $IT4I_PLATFORM -o vadd.xclbin
    ```
    
    This process should result in `vadd.xclbin`, which can be loaded by host-side application.

    ## Hybrid GPU and FPGA Application (HIP+XRT)
    
    
    Jan Siwiec's avatar
    Jan Siwiec committed
    This simple 8-bit quantized dot product (`R = sum(X[i]*Y[i])`) example illustrates basic approach to utilize both GPU and FPGA accelerators in a single application.
    The application takes the simplest approach, where both synchronization and data transfers are handled explicitly by the host.
    The HIP toolchain is used to compile the single source host/GPU code as usual, but it is also linked with XRT runtime, which allows host to control the FPGA accelerator.
    
    The FPGA kernels are built separately as in previous examples.
    
    The host/GPU HIP code should be saved as `main.hip`

    The host/GPU application can be built using HIPCC as:

    ```console
    
    $ hipcc -I$XILINX_XRT/include -I$XILINX_VIVADO/include -L$XILINX_XRT/lib -lxrt_coreutil main.hip -o host
    ```
    
    The accelerator side (simple vector-multiply kernel) should be saved as `kernels.cpp`.
    
    ```c++
    extern "C" {
        void multiply(
            short *out,
            const char *inX,
            const char *inY,
            int size)
        {
    #pragma HLS INTERFACE m_axi port=inX bundle=aximm1
    #pragma HLS INTERFACE m_axi port=inY bundle=aximm2
    #pragma HLS INTERFACE m_axi port=out bundle=aximm1
            for(int i = 0; i < size; ++i)
                out[i] = short(inX[i]) * short(inY[i]);
        }
    }

    Once again the HLS kernel is build using Vitis `v++` in two steps:

    v++ -c -t $IT4I_BUILD_MODE --platform $IT4I_PLATFORM -k multiply kernels.cpp -o kernels.xo
    v++ -l -t $IT4I_BUILD_MODE --platform $IT4I_PLATFORM kernels.xo -o kernels.xclbin

    ### Running the Application
    
    In emulation mode (FPGA emulation, GPU HW is required) the application can be launched as:
    
    ```console
    $ XCL_EMULATION_MODE=sw_emu ./host kernels.xclbin
    REFERENCE: 256.554 (260.714)
    Loading xclbin file ./kernels.xclbin
    RESULT: 256.554
    ```
    
    or, having compiled kernels with `IT4I_BUILD_MODE=hw` set, using real hardware (both FPGA and GPU HW is required)
    
    ```console
    $ ./host kernels.xclbin
    REFERENCE: 256.554 (260.714)
    Loading xclbin file ./kernels.xclbin
    RESULT: 256.554
    ```
